4 NEW RAILROAD
Advantages to Brooke County Switching on

We have been able TO obtain the follow
ing statement Of comparative distance
table that will be interesting to our bust
ness men, in regard to the new railroad
projected through our city. showing in a
striking manner its advantages.
The expenditure of $50, 900 per mile of
foreign capital, would give an impetus TO
our business not easily obtained in any
any other way. The valuation Of this
property for taxation purposes for all time
TO come is 10 small matter Ia every tax
payer in Brooke county to contemplate.
Every citizen brought here who spends
dollar, or invests in II manufacturing plant,
or goes into any legitimate business, adds
to our wealth aud lessons the burden OF
taxation in n corresponding degree.
The construction of this road means an
increase OF population 10 consume the pro
duets of our soil at home. 1t means cheap
er rates of freight, because II shOrtens the
distance between the principal centers of
trade East and West over any of the present
lines, consequently giving the producer a
greater price for his productions, whether
that he farm products, manufactured goods
or what not; to the consumer at home Of
foreign or domestic articles OF consumption
lower prices, because of the facilities of
reaching out to all sections and securing the
advantages ST competition in these as well
as freights.
To demonstrate this, The Travellers
Official Railway Guide" gives the distance
from Wellsburg TO Chicago, via the Pan

land and Pittsburg and Lake Shore, $50

at Wheeling, w. q l.. f. and Lake Shore,
the distance is AIS miles. From IFelisbWrg
ria The Union bridge At Wheeling and the
Cannon Bal, AL miles 10 Chicago, shorter
from sc to 40 miles over any other road
now built.
The distance from Welshurg 10 Pitts
burg over the F., c. & st. J. Is 80 miles,
by this new line it will be A. miles, thus
placing the city of Wellsburg practically
on the shortest through line East and West,
rs the building of another East and West
road from Harrisburg ana Pittsburg wOuld
shorten the line between New York and
Chicago from 50 to 100 miles.
The coal interests Of Brooke county
would he developed by the construction Of
this line as no other can do, because Of its
direction and connections. Building
stone, limestone, timber, and many other
things not at present marketable, would at

CAIIFoRNIA's real estate boom Is shaky.
The bottom appears to be dropping out OF
it although it has been so industriously
developing for some time past. Ii has been
mainly a speculative movement, and those
IN it are dreading day of settlement,
according To LIS Angeles special in the
New York Herald, because there will be
S45, OO1, 900 due before New Years day, and
there is not the money in sight to meet
the calls that are coming. OF course as the
crash feared is one that exists mainly on
paper and means more dissipation Of
hopes than a destruction of capital, the
ultimate results are not likely TO interfere
with the prosperity of the State, but none
the less they point moral to those who
imagine that a boom business on fictitious
values is desirable form of steady invest
ment.

GLADSTONE declares that the history Of
the Irish Urion has never been rightly
written, and says in his NReteeRh Century
article, the stencil OF this shameful
record is too foul for the public even after
two generations have passed away. Not
only corruption, but fragrant intimidation
and savage repression were used to obtain
the union. CORVALLIS declared in JULY,
1899. that the force in Ireland sutficed to
preserve the peace, but Lot to meet for
eigu invasion. What q picture Of an I'M
happy country! A force Of $4,000 men
necessary to keep peace among disarmed
people Of i, 500, COOr' The picture to-day
is only different in degree, but the truth Of
history is beginning to make itself known,
even among the English, and therein lies
the hope Of Ireland.
